• midsegment
• Use proportional parts of triangles.
• Divide a segment into parts.
Standard 12.0 Students find and use measures of sides and of interior and exterior angles of triangles and polygons to classify figures and solve problems. (Key)
Triangle Proportionality Theorem• If a line parallel to one side of
a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.
• The converse is true also.

MAPS In the figure, Larch, Maple, and Nuthatch Streets are all parallel. The figure shows the distances in city blocks that the streets are apart. Find x.
Proportional Segments
Notice that the streets form a triangle that is cut by parallel lines. So you can use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem.

In the figure, Davis, Broad, and Main Streets are all parallel. The figure shows the distances in city blocks that the streets are apart. Find x.
Find x and y.
To find x:
Congruent Segments
Given
Subtract 2x from each side.
Add 4 to each side.
To find y:
Congruent Segments
The segments with lengths are congruent
since parallel lines that cut off congruent segments on
one transversal cut off congruent segments on every
transversal.
Answer: x = 6; y = 3
Congruent Segments
Equal lengths
Multiply each side by 3 to eliminate the denominator.
Subtract 8y from each side.
Divide each side by 7.
